Process
HR Recruiter 30-minute discussion about the company.
The recruiter was very unprofessional and couldn't answer basic questions about the role or the benefits. They spent most of the time discussing the extensive technical assessments that would be required (4 live, 1-hour technical assessments before even meeting with the hiring manager).
I chose not to proceed further.
